    For those that have been to the major parks in the US, which parks would you recommend visiting more than one day for??   Thanks.  
    just planning 2 years early. 😂

    Definitely the Disney and Universal parks when I went in December 

    I had gone to SFMM and nearly got all the major rides done besides Lex Luther and Viper which if I went in again the next day I would have completed that park 100%

    I understand what you’re getting at and I respect your opinion. But Like the main ride if you could even call it that was a cheap carnival ride coated with trolls theming. And in my opinion the only good part of the whole place was the statues they looked pretty high quality for dreamworld. Well i guess it looked high quality because universals quality control

    You got to remember that Trolls is targeting a very much younger demographic (4-8 year olds) than you, and never was going to attract teens and adults like most of the demographic on this forum unless they have kids on their own. 5-8yr old me would probably be going insane with what they had to offer being able to dress up as a troll, making your own cupcakes, a shop, shows and the funhouse and meet Poppy and Branch. 

    While I have no interest in the Trolls property, but with what all four parties (Sudden Impact Entertainment, DW, Dreamworks and Universal) came up with, it was definitely more than anyone could have asked on, just quite unfortunate it's stay at the park wasn't long enough.

    7NEWS Gold Coast on FB has a report talking about the reopening of the parks (tried to upload video/link on here but says video is private?)

    Won’t happen (Fright Nights, too early to make a call on White Christmas) 

    You can fountain me all you like @Jay Jay The Jet Plane but I’d like to see you explain how by next month (when they would have to seriously ramp up prep and construction of mazes to be ready for October) they would have certainty that NO social distancing regulations will exist anymore come October. 

    it won’t happen

    7000 people holding shoulders and in queue lines like cattle with a dozen people per 4sqm instead of 1 ?

    Zero chance.

    The fountain reaction was set in place while I was going to reply back to this, this took me quite a while, what I wanted to say down below and wanted to make sure I got everything across rather than reply back in 5 minutes after the original post was made, which I have learnt for next time, probably not to do that: 

    • As in terms of the maze construction, with budget possibly not being there this year for the events, they could very well just go the easy route and say, right just bring the same mazes from last years event on the exception of Leatherface back, I say no LF as I'm doubtful they will want to pay for licensing again and the other four mazes wouldn't be affected such as they have been either paid to be at this years event (IT and ZL) or they custom IP material from the park (HOK and Doll Haus)
    • Queues and attendance is probably where I can agree with you on this matter as they could be some problems with that with social distancing. They could at least fix the queuing situation with by forcing everyone to have VRTP app to get everyone to use virtual queuing for the mazes and rides and let them through only once their allocated time-slot is ready to go which would mean more people spread around the park rather than been like cattle. Hands on shoulders will be scrapped and they will probably just allow members of your party to go through the maze,  (yes capacity/throughput would be down the roof, but its better to be safe than sorry of having 16 other strangers in your group) and then attendance would be set with whatever the government will allow the park have during daytime trade which is still yet being decided.  

    We are under three months away from the event being held and with the whole situation on easing restrictions coming quicker than expected, think you can agree with me on that one, no one was expecting gyms, restaurants and all the other likings eased in Stage 1 and Stage 2 to be happening right now (especially in Winter)  instead of the promised September time frame ScoMo said in late March. And I agree with you Brad, they really don't have much time to make a decision if it goes ahead or is indeed cancelled for the year. The positive being if it is indeed cancelled this year, we could have more resources and budget to probably work with for next years event.

    Well you’ve heard wrong. Probably get a new source. The park themselves have said 2/3 of the ride is still in Germany. 

    I just wanted to say

    I apologise for reporting misinformation on the situation and thank you for your input with correcting me tonight with the full story, it’s been much appreciated and I have fully noted this for the future to maybe not jump on the gun too soon 👍🏻

    Ha if you think there are no longer delays in international shipping then you are living a fantasy life. 
    International shipping most definitely still has a lot of problems. (And that of course is only if the goods are even on a ship and not sitting in Germany)

    No fantasy life here

    Of course there’s always going to be delays in international shipping, especially times like this, during an global pandemic, I for one, had to wait two months extra from a package from China recently so I can definitely acknowledge it ain’t no sunshine and rainbow for international shipping unlike domestic for the most part.

    What I was meaning to say with what I posted above and will reflect now, I had heard very good reports, that all parts have indeed left Germany now and are either very close to arriving or have indeed arrived here in Australia. So you wouldn’t have to wait one month after supports arriving now for track to come in.

    There no way in hell there gonna start construction this month. There’s still more pieces to arrive and some are still probably being shipped from Germany to Australia. so that is why I said late July early august. if they do they can still open up Jan-feb 2021 which still a good time since it will still be school holidays.

    We are only in the 2nd day of the month and still got around 29 days left of the month so it’s way too early to make that call.

    As in terms of shipping from Germany to Australia. I think it’s safe to say at the moment there’s no more stagnant delays (where we faced a month delay of getting supports delivered then the next month, track being delivered) as there’s likely a very good chance, the rest of parts are sitting at the port awaiting to be picked up and shipped to Dreamworld. This should be done in the coming days/weeks

    if they do open would you guys say that it would be about 100 or 200 people allowed at sea world if they do?

    Clark and Bikash have said those numbers are not viable 

    VRTP and QLD Government would need to work on attendance that can please both parties 

    Me reckons as a prediction 1,000-2,000 people? 
     

    It all comes down to the waiting game now to see what both parties settled on
